It starts with one.
A single impression, about as wide as a real follicle. On its own it is nothing at all.

Look like you chose this.
You already know what SMP is. The only question left is who you let near your head.
Then a thousand.
Each one angled the way your own hair came out of the scalp. Still not a hairline.
Around thirty thousand.
Placed one at a time, by hand. There is no faster version of this that still works.
Layered twice more.
Sessions two and three go over healed work, so the mark gains depth and never gains size.
And then you forget it.
Healed, it reads as two days of growth. Disappearing is the whole job.
Walk taller. Enter the room stronger.
The impact shows. The work doesn’t.
Take control of the reflection. Own your image.

How it is built →Black ink heals blue. That is why yours will not.
On most skin, straight black pigment settles into a grey-blue cast within a couple of years. Modern Color Theory, his framework and now taught across the industry, engineers a corrective additive into every mix so the healed mark lands neutral on your melanin rather than on an average.

See it cancel →Three sessions at least. The layering is the magic.
A minimum of three, including the final refinement. Session one lays the foundation. The layering begins at session two, impressions placed over the healed work to build a structure that matches a real follicle and shaft, and session three locks in the texture. The mark gains depth without ever gaining size, which is why it still reads as hair years later instead of spreading into a smudge.
Three sessions at least, all included
Session by session →He co-designed the machine and formulated the ink.
The Apollo is the first machine engineered for scalp micropigmentation rather than adapted from tattooing. Reclaim and Restore, the Perma Blend collections built for scalp work, were co-developed with their chemists by him. Most artists order both off a shelf; he decided what goes on it.

The Apollo story →He does every single treatment himself.
One chair in Brickell, one in Chelsea, and the same pair of hands in both. No associates, no trainees on your head, no hand-offs halfway through. The calendar is small on purpose.
One artist, Miami and New York
Realistic in every light. Undetectable where it matters.
Sharp enough to change your face. Soft enough to never give itself away. A hairline that belongs there. Colour with depth, not darkness. Thousands of impressions layered to create the broken edges, variation and texture that make real hair look real. Everyone notices the change. Nobody can quite tell why.
That is the difference
Real clients. Each one with his before in the frame.
His before is in the frame. The hairline was drawn to his face, then built one impression at a time until it reads as a choice he made.
The line most artists get wrong. Seen from the side, at talking distance, it still reads as growth.
The value is matched to his beard shadow, so the head and the face read as one system.
Grey hair takes a lighter mix. The pigment is diluted to his own value, so nothing on his head is darker than him.
Both corners brought back in. The edge is broken on purpose, because a ruler-straight line is what gives SMP away.
Temples are seen side-on, in daylight, more than any photo. This is the pass that has to survive it.
Thinning from the middle out, blended until the eye cannot find where his hair ends and the work begins.
Nobody can tell. That is the whole point.
Nobody can tell I had anything done. People just keep saying, "You look good… did you change something?" They can’t figure it out, they just know I look better.

It feels like I got a part of myself back. I walk into rooms differently now.
Kai D.New York City
I stopped wearing hats right after my last session. The confidence boost was immediate.
James R.New York City
The precision is insane. It honestly just looks like real hair. Nobody believes it’s not natural.
Dante V.Miami
I flew across the country for this and I’d do it again. When it comes to your confidence and appearance, it’s worth going to the best.

Not for you
If you want to grow it long again, or want something you can wash off, SMP is the wrong answer. You hear that at the consult, free, before any deposit.
For you
Shaved. Buzzed. Receding. Thinning. Post‑transplant.
The questions everybody asks first.
What does scalp micropigmentation cost?
From $2,500, and that figure covers the complete treatment: all three sessions, not a deposit or a per-session rate. Most scalps land between $2,500 and $5,000 depending on how much area is being built and how much structure the hairline needs. You get the number in writing before you commit to anything.
Will it look obviously done?
That is the entire question, and it is the one the work is judged on. Each impression is placed at follicle scale, in the angle and spacing your own hair grew in, and the pigment is mixed to your skin so it heals neutral instead of drifting blue or grey. The standard is that it survives daylight, a barber, and a close conversation with someone who knows you.
Is it permanent?
It is long-lasting rather than truly permanent. Pigment is placed shallower than a tattoo, so it softens gradually over several years rather than spreading and going blue. Most clients come back for a single refresh somewhere between four and seven years, which also lets the hairline be adjusted as your face changes.
How much does it hurt?
Most people describe it as an irritation rather than pain, closer to a persistent scratch than a tattoo. The needle is working in the upper layer of skin, not deep. The crown and the temples are the most sensitive areas. Sessions run three to four hours with breaks whenever you want them.
How many sessions, and how far apart?
A minimum of three, including the final refinement, spaced roughly ten to fourteen days apart so each pass heals before the next is layered over it. That gap is not scheduling convenience. The layering only works if the previous session has settled, and it is what gives the healed mark the structure of a real follicle rather than a flat dot.
What is the difference between SMP and a hair transplant?
A transplant moves living follicles and grows real hair, which needs donor supply, surgery and a year of waiting, and gives a result you cannot fully predict. SMP does not grow anything. It recreates the appearance of closely shaved follicles across the scalp. It is non-surgical, finished in weeks, and the outcome is visible as it is built. Many clients have both: a transplant for coverage, SMP to make the density read evenly.
Can it cover transplant scars?
Yes, and it is some of the most rewarding work in the studio. Strip scars and FUE dot scarring are camouflaged by matching the pigment to the surrounding skin and rebuilding follicle texture across the scar tissue. Scar tissue takes pigment differently, so it is planned and tested rather than assumed.
Does Stevey G do the work himself?
Every treatment, in both studios, personally. There are no associates and no hand-offs. It is the reason the calendar is limited and the reason clients fly in for it.
